A hole in the sidewalk is a bad thing to got Into, not only for the unfor tunate porson who gets into it, but some times lor the taxpayers, as our authori ties will find out some of these days. Miss Mary E. Williams, an instruct or in the Bowling Home, an Institution for tho education of the destitute nogroes of tho South, which is located at Jackson ville, Fla., and is conducted by the M. E. church, gave a very interesting talk on her mission, in the M. E. church last Sun day ovenlng. Miss Williams Is a note of Mrs. G. W. Bovard of this place and Is here on a visit. The announcement of the marriage of Miss Bird. Chadwick, which appears in another column of this issue, will bo a pleasant surprise to her many young Irionds here, where Blie is highly es teemed and popular. The groom, we learu, is a well-to-do and respected citi zen of Erie, Pa., whore he is in business. Miss Chadwick, or rather, we should now say, Mrs. Walker, and ber husband, have the very best wishes of our people for a long, happy and prosperous wedded life. There Is a great demand for buck wheat throughout Morcer county. For the past fow weeks speculators and own ers of flouring mills have been going tli rough the county quietly buying up the crop of buckwheat in the field and paying tho larmors one-half of the value of the grain cash down, offering to pay the present market value when the crop is harvested and measured. The farmers take this as an indication that the price will be high this year, and those who havo not already sold aro driving some sharp bargains. Referring to a fool story that has boon gonorally circulated In this section, and that had excited more peoplo.accord ingly, than did tho firing on Fort Sump' ter In '01, tho Clarion Jacksonian says : "The campaign and fish Btory liar has beon completely knocked out by the mis erable contortion of tho truth lhat has been traveling over the country for the past week. We mean the story about the man who undertook to shoot the Al mighty and was turned into stone. The scene of tho occurrence was originally placed nearShannondale, then near Sum niervillo, but k is now some place down in Armstrong county. Tho origluator of tho story does not seem to bo known and the reason for telling such a story would bo hard to find. It is enough to say there is no truth in it whatever." -The latest horse-stealing caso is re ported from Clarington, this county. Wednosday night of last week a bay horse, weighing about 1100 pounds, with ono white hind foot, and the right fore foot slightly pigeon-toed, was stolen from IT. S. Goble, together with a buggy and harnoss. As soon as the discovery of the theft was made a number of citizens from that place started in pursuit of the thief. They tracked the rig to tho vicinity ol Tyiorsuurg wliere lurther tracing was impossible owing to the travel and inter ference of othor vehicles obliterating the stolon rig's tracks. Here the pursuing party separated, each taking different dl rections, but at last accounts no capture had been mado, and it is probable that the thief or thieves have made good their escape with their booty. Thefts of this kind are becoming so frequent of late that it seems some systematic organiza- tion for breaking up the gang which is working al it, should be speedily devised, aud the perpetrators brought to bay.

A terrible railroad collision, one of tho worst In many years occurred at 12:2.r on Fr.day morning last, on the tracks of the Denver A Rio Grand and the Colorado Midland railways, two miles wost of Now Castle, Colorado, In which Charles Leeper, of Clarion, Pa., and well known throughout this section of c untry, was one of the unfortunate passengers to lose his life. Robert W. Schotts, of Tylors- burg, Pa., was also on the train, but was not killed, though receiving severe bruises. It is reported that at least thirty lives were lost and nearly two hundred per sons more or less seriouHly in urrd. many of whom will die. The wreck was caused by a head-end collision between a Denver A Rio Grand passenger train run ning at tho rato of 40 miles an hour and a special Colorado Midland stock train, running at a speed of probably 30 miles. So terrific was the concussion that both engines, baggage and express cars, smoker and dny coachos and two stock curs were totally demolished, and tho track torn up for rods in both directions. To add to the horrors of the scene, the wreck caught fire from an explosion of a Pintsch gas tank on the passenger train and burned so rapidly that many passen gers pinned beneath the debris were burned to death before help could roach them. Tho most generally accepted theory as to t lie cause of the wreck seoms to be that Conductor Ilnrbank, of tho Midland special, anticipating the time of tho pas senger, undertook to steal a station, and beat the passenger Into New Castle. Burbank escaped uninjured, and upon orders Irom Coroner Clark has been placed under arrest by the sheriff. Mid land Engineer Ostrander is missing and a thorough search all around his engine fails to reveal any vestige of his remains. It is thought that whon he saw his threat ened danger he Jumped from bis engine and, realizing his negligence, took to the hills. Mr. and Mrs. E. II. Strous, who live a quarter of a mile from the sceno of the accident, report that when tne two trains met the shock was bo great as to literally hurl them out of bed. . Mr. Leeper and Mr. Robert Shoots, of Tylorsburg, interested with him in th lumber business In Washington, started for that point from Clarion on Monday of last week, and they were on their way thore whon the fatality occuned. Mr Shoots telegraphed the sad news to Clar ion and it was forwarded on to Mrs. Leeper, who was attending the confer ence at Oil City at the time. Charles C. Leeper was born In Center county, 63 years ago, and from a poor boy he rose from comparative poverty to affluence by his integrity and wonderful energy, and at the time of his death he had oil interests In Pennsylvania and Ohio, coal interests in three states, and was extensively engaged in the lumber business In the south and west. When lie was scarcoly ol ago he came to Clarion county and engaged in the lumber busi ness, his first work being on a boat scaf fold on Tionesta creek a short distance below Nouraska. Afterwards he located at Tylorsburg, where he conducted lumbering business extending over many years, and where he laid the foun dation lor Ins tortune. About 24 years ago he removed to Clarion where he be came associated in business with Mime of the leading men of that town, and took an active part iu all that had a teiuieu cy to build up and enhance the interests of the place. Mr. Leeper is survived by his wife, daughter of our townsman, Mr. John, R. Stroup, and two sons, Clarenao C. Leeper of Toledo, O., aud Harry of Sagl now, Mich., both engaged In looking after their father's interests in those cities. Conference Appointments.

Tho need of a Bood system of tele phone service throughout Forest county has beon felt for a long time, and we are glad to know that such a service Is soon to be placed at the disposal of the busi ness men and people generally. Mr. Chas. S. Leech, one of the conservative and leading business men of Marien ville, has Interested himself In tho project, and has already secured enough signatures to a stock company to Insure Its success. A lino will be put up that will take in the main business portions of thecounty, reaching Marienville and points on the P. A W. and T. V. railroads, Kane, Ty lorsburg, Nebraska, Tionesta, the two Hickories, and ultimately extend to places along Tionosta creek. In fact the entire county is to be "lined up" If suf ficient encouragement is held out to the company. A partial canvass of Marien ville and Tionesta reveals the lact that the citizens of these places are not slow to see the benefits and conveniences to accrue from this service as will be seen by tho following list of 'phone subscrib ers. Kast and West Hickory have also been visited, and a number of 'phone" subscribed for, but we were unable to get the list: MARIK1VIM.R. Chas. Leech 2. S. H. Towler, M. D. A. F. Smith. H. C.

Speaking of the departure of Rev. Bamberger and family from East Brady, the Review of that city pays this tribute to the Doctor, a former popular pastor of the M. E. Church of this plaot ; Rev. C. C. Runiborger delivered his farewell sermon In the M. E. church on Sunday evening and on Tuesday left for Oil City accompanied by his wife and daughter, Miss Mary, to attend the an nual conference of this district. Rev Rumberger has been tho pastor of tho church at this place for five years, the longest ary minister has held the charge and the longest term allowed any minis ter of this denomination to remain the pastor of one church. He has been a power for good In this community and there are hundred of people who feel the most profound regret that ho must leave. One of the strongest characteristics of the retiring minister is his energy. He is absolutely indefatigable ami his capacity for work Is unlimited, which accounts in the greatest measure for hissnccess. The church has been built up in structure as well as membership, and ho has left be hind a reputation aud record that is ex colled by none. A physician who had given up a large practice to enter the ministry, he rendered skillful assistance to many poor and-need families in the community, and wherever there was sickness, outside of his congregation as well as in It, there Dr. Rumberger was found, and he always brought comfort and hope and by his happy presence drove away many a oloud that hung low over a home. By old and young he will be greatly missed, and by none so much as those who enjoy the beauties of nature, as his active mind found a vent In out-of-door sports and recreation of various kinds. His wile stands to tho Iront also side by side with him In the grand work that has been accomplished and we doubt not that he will give the little lady who has shared his lot most of the credit for the success of his work here which she deserves. Rev. and Mrs. Rumberger and daughter, Miss Mary, will leave be hind a larger number of friends, both In and out of the congregation he so ably presided over, than is generally the lot of the average minister, and the kindest wishes will follow them to their new charge, wherever it may bo.
